Operation of Upper Oven

Caution:  Appliance surfaces are hot during and after use! Do not place
anything on top of this appliance.

When using the upper oven, always ensure that the switch is moved to the
“Oven” position. Your oven will not work if the switch is kept in the middle
(neutral) position. 

The convection fan is programmed to operate on Bake, Defrost, and
Slow Cook. 

Be sure that the Temperature Control is set to “0” and the Time
Control is set to “Off” before plugging the cord into the outlet for use
and when unplugging the oven after use.

Set the Temperature Control and the Function Control before setting
the Time Control.

The oven will only operate if the Time Control is turned to a time
setting or if it is in the “Stay On” position.

For even cooking, always place foods in the oven with at least one
inch of space on all sides to allow proper air circulation.

Cooking Containers

The drip/baking pan included with the oven is suitable for cookies,
rolls, biscuits, nachos, pork chops, etc. It may be easier to use a 
non-stick spray when using the drip/baking pan for baking or
broiling. When it is being used as the baking pan, the pan should be
placed in the upper rack, and the temperature must be increased 
by 50° F.

Any oven-safe baking pans or casserole dishes are suitable for the
convection oven. Your Convection Oven will accommodate a full half
cookie sheet.

Choose bakeware made of metal, oven-proof glass or ceramic.

Check for Wolfgang Puck bakeware on HSN.com.

Many convenience foods are packaged in nonmetallic containers
suitable for use in microwave ovens as well as regular ovens. Check
package directions carefully to determine if the container is suitable
for use in a regular oven.

Convection Baking

In baking mode the bottom heating elements operate at full power
and the top heating elements operate at 50% power. The heating
elements will cycle on and off to maintain the selected temperature.
The Convection fan will operate during the Conv/Bake cycle.

The fan circulates the hot air around the food making baked goods rise
quickly and evenly. In many convection ovens, it is necessary to lower
the baking temperature to achieve acceptable results. Your Bistro
Convection Oven has been designed for easy use. Lowering the baking
temperature is not necessary. Follow package or recipe directions
remembering not to preheat the oven and check after the shortest
baking time. 

In most cases you should use the lowest rack position; however if more
browning is desired place in the upper rack, facing up. If using the
baking rack in the lowest rack position, make sure that it is facing up.
See page 8. The drip/roasting/baking pan included with your oven can
also be used for baking. It is enamel coated making it easy to clean.
When not in use, the drip/roasting/baking pan should always be
removed from the oven when baking as it will interfere with the flow of
hot air from the bottom elements. 

When it is being used as the baking

pan, the pan should be placed in the upper rack, and the temperature
must be increased by 50° F

. If you need to accommodate a larger cut of

meat or poultry on the drip pan, place the pan on top of the bottom
rails, not in them . 

1

Place the oven rack or baking pan in the desired rack position. If
using the lowest position the rack should be facing up. 

2

Set the Temperature Control to the recommended temperature.

3

Set the Function Control to “Conv/Bake”.

4

Set the Time Control to the shortest baking time in the recipe and
check for desired doneness.

A Note on Baking Times:

Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food, so it
cooks food faster. When baking your favorite recipes or packaged goods,
follow recipe instructions remembering not to preheat. Check baked
goods a few minutes before shortest recommended baking time.

Proofing Bread Dough

center rack of the oven and allow it to double in size.
